[About XDA developers] pulser_g2:
Just been working on some of the android sections, but I noticed that Dave's wiki convertor seems to be dealing with external links wrongly.

Where, for example,

*[VillainROM 5.5.0 (2010-05-04) | http://www.villainrom.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=402] by nprussell

is converted to

*[[ http://www.villainrom.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=402|VillainROM 5.5.0 (2010-05-04) |]] by nprussell

this produces a broken link. However, if it were to output

*[http://www.villainrom.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=402 VillainROM 5.5.0 (2010-05-04)] by nprussell

then it should work fine.

ie. use only one square bracket when link is external to the wiki, and instead of the pipe character between URL and title, a space should be used.

Just an observation. No idea if this is possible, feasible, desirable or even correct for anyone other than me...

EDIT: Hmm. Ignore me for now I think. I did another page and it worked fine... Strange. I'll try and see what the issue is :)

EDIT2: I also added the

{{Outdated}}

tag, which can be used at the header of a page to highlight it being outdated. For an example, see http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=VillainROM
[About XDA developers] DaveShaw:
Noticed the new Templates, nice work :).

If you can let me know an exact line / snippet that is wrong I'll debug it. (The whole app was a Regex crash course)

It is designed to output the URL's in the format you expect :).

Dave
[About XDA developers] pulser_g2:
OK. Here's one that doesn't work right.

*[Andro-Plus 1.1 (2010-02-08) | http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5570560]

from http://URL to the wiki :)/index.php?pagename=GSM Hero ROMs

Output is

*[[ http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5570560|Andro-Plus 1.1 (2010-02-08) |]]

Expected is

*[http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5570560 Andro-Plus 1.1 (2010-02-08)]

I have put these on my talk page on the new wiki, http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=User_talk:Anon2122, so you can see the issue.

By using double square brackets, mediawiki is treating it as an internal link, when it should be external. If the string begins "http://", then only one square bracket should be used.

I have no idea why the phpWiki for this example had a trailing pipe within the square brackets but it can be ignored.

The pipe separating the link from the description should also be a space. The first space encountered in the square bracket is treated as the splitting point.

HTH mate,

P
[About XDA developers] DaveShaw:
Thanks I'm just looking at another URL conversion problem at the moment :).

Might be the same root cause, phpWiki is very forgiving in allowing shocking markup.

Dave
[About XDA developers] pulser_g2:
Yeah, seems so. It's no hassle to change them manually, as I've done for most of the hero stuff i can find, but it gives you a RegEx challenge :P

There should not AFAIK be a pipe at the end of the URL in phpWiki, so I have no idea how that got there :D

Cheers
[About XDA developers] DaveShaw:
I know what it's meant to look like, it's the Greedy Regex Expressions that are changing it for me.

I've changed the whole URL stuff and am just trying to cobble a new feature in before bed.

[About XDA developers] click23:
Hey all, I am new here, but not to wiki.

I have a question about approriate content on the new wiki. An example would be Gene_Registry on the old wiki, sorry I am new and cannot post links.

Is this something that should be in the new wiki? If so I would think it should go on the Gene wiki page.
[About XDA developers] DaveShaw:
I'm liking subpages at the moment. But I'm not sure if it's the best way forward.

i.e. http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Gene/Registry

But if you want to keep the old page name to save time that's fine, the main aim is migrating content at the moment.

Dave
[About XDA developers] click23:
Ahhh, so right now the plan is to just get everything moved, we can clean it up later.
[About XDA developers] Captainkrtek:
Most of the main page content is moved, just some phones left, after that its just cleaning it all up and making it look nice :)
[About XDA developers] ThaDeanesta:
I've fixed **SOME OF THE** broken links

there are a couple of Wiki pages , that are using [[www.xxxxxx.com]] as external links. I fixed the Eris sections.
[About XDA developers] Captainkrtek:
Thanks for fixing the Eris section :) by the way just wondering if DaveShaw could include this change in an update for phpWiki to MediaWiki Converter

Replace:

<small>[[HomePage|Back to Main Page]]</small>

with

<small>[[Main_Page|Back to Main Page]]</small>

so if the PhpWiki source contains "Homepage"

edit the output to display "Main_Page"

Thanks!
[About XDA developers] svetius:
Hey everyone,

It's amazing how much the wiki has progressed! We're aiming to launch the new wiki next week sometime. It's still not 100% complete, but hopefully we'll be even closer to completion within the next few days.

Again, THANK YOU to everyone that has been helping.
[About XDA developers] Captainkrtek:
Ill be finishing up the rest of the devices today :)
[About XDA developers] DaveShaw:
Just remove it. It's pointless.

=======Announcement=======​

I want to reject my previous suggestion of using sub pages.

MediaWiki, WikiPedia and Vinny75‎ convinced me they are a bad idea.

We should use categories. The Phone Template has been update to put a Category on Every device page with the same name as the page.

Any pages related to the Device page should be added to the category.

So For example

Athena_BootLoaderPassword

Should have a category placed on the page.

This is done like so:

[[Category:HTC Athena]]

It makes very good sense to put all categories at the bottom of the page. So you can edit/view them quickly in code.

Any problems with this, let me know.

Dave
[About XDA developers] Captainkrtek:
Just finished moving the last device, now to go back and do some editing!
[About XDA developers] pulser_g2:
Anything to do with the HTC Hero or G2 should now be up. I don't know about any orphan pages, but there may well be some. I brought across some ancient orphan stuff about VillainROM 3 (on 12 now :D) but I made the outdated tag for this kind of thing.

Anyway, any thoughts on what should happen to other 'orphaned' pages? If there's no easy way of finding them, they will probably die out when the old wiki is deleted. I would imagine that some will still be referenced from forum posts etc.

I tried using google with some search modifiers, but it's just not working.

So while I say the Hero section is done, I mean it 'looks' done from the outside, but it might well be missing loads of orphaned stuff linked externally.

P
[About XDA developers] DaveShaw:
There is a Special Page for Finding the Orphaned Pages : http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=Special:LonelyPages

There are 11 now.

If you want them deleting bang a {{delete}} template on it, and I'll do the magic :D

Thanks
[About XDA developers] madnish30:
I'll be pitching in with the clean up once the porting is done :)

madnish30.
[About XDA developers] DaveShaw:
Some points to remember.

We want to try and reduce the amount of pages that have no real purpose (place a {{delete|some reason}} tag on any page you need removing).

We want to try and collate relevant info together. Use categories to do this.

Feel free to go a bit "Wild", if something's wrong or out of date, sort it, no one should mind.

We want it to look nice. I'm trying to draft up some editing guides to keep things uniform. I already have a {{Phone}} template, but it still needs more work.

I'd also like to get rid of any old wiki hang ups. Link links to the Main Page (or HomePage / Home Page), the "Site info" bits, etc.. MediaWiki is massively more powerful than the old wiki, and there will generally be a better way to do things :)

Oh, and anything else you have to add...

I know it's trivial and pathetic, but the logo on the wiki has a missed transparency to the left of the X, and in the centre of the last "a".

[Desire General] stats101:
The phone also feels tangibly heavier. :mad:

Think it may be a Super LCD screen rather than AMOLED (how can I check?). Overall, the screen just looks grey. I want my old AMOLED one back?!
[Desire General] Schmeggma:
Some things to try:

- look at the screen through a circular polarisation filter, eg. RealD glasses (no idea if this works with SLCD...)

- set brightness to maximum and display a black image in a dark room

- look really closely at the screen with a magnifier (or someone with good eyesight) to see if it's Pentile (I guess an LCD screen could be Pentile too...)

- weigh the phone on some good scales to see if it really is any heavier
[Desire General] stats101:
I've weighed it - and it's just a bit higher than 135 grams. Even though it matches the spec listed on HTC's website, I still think my previous phone was lighter. Now to test the AMOLED screen. Hmm..
[Desire General] stats101:
the backlight is apparent then. when i switch the phone off, it goes completely black, otherwise it's a grey colour. does that mean it is not AMOLED?
[Desire General] bedeabc:
It certainly sounds like that may be the case :(

Would you be able to post pictures? This is bad news for anyone wanting a replacement. AMOLED was a big selling point for me.
[Desire General] al89nut:
However,

Can you read it in daylight outdoors?
[Desire General] shaundalglish:
If it's LCD, can I have your Desire then? I hate the Pen-Tile pixel layout...
[Desire General] stats101:
Seems the black wallpaper in the dark test isn't a valid avenue to test if it's AMOLED (see: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=725656).

Think it may be either me just imagining things - or a defective AMOLED screen.
[Desire General] .:george:.:
I'm sending my Desire for repair as I have dust under my screen, I contacted HTC support worried if I may get an LCD screen and they asured me they are currently still using AMOLED displays only :)
[Desire General] stats101:
tell me if my screen looks washed out to you. I'm sure my last desire, the colours were a lot more vivid.
[Desire General] Schmeggma:
Can't really tell if it looks washed out in a photo with nothing to compare it to, but it's definitely a Pentile matrix... :)
[Desire General] shaundalglish:
Yes, definitely Pentile. Damn.
[Desire General] Necroman_AI:
Well to me it looks ok and very much the same as mine. I have never returned my Desire to be fixed.

My colors are very vibrant and i can see the screen on daylight (using auto-brightness).

I have noticed one thing on your photos though: your Internet icon is different from mine. Yours seems an older icon, really washed out, being gray and having the home icon. Mine looks more recent, it's a earth icon in blue (same blue as the mail or message icons) with some orbits rotating around the world...

Could this be it?
[Desire General] stats101:
The internet icon i think is Orange's reworking (notice the orange door to the house).
[Desire General] teffers:
I just wanted to mention, I 've had 5x different Desires and some have had a more vibrant screen to others.

Through the range of brightness from minimal to maximum I've definitely been able to see that some of the handsets are bright but seem to have very slightly less clarity, whilst others have a sharper image but loose some vividness.

I prefer the brighter / more colourful one I have now.
[Desire General] stats101:
5 Desires. I've been through 3 so far. :D The first two were very similar (although the second one for some reason just felt so much lighter). This one is washed out. Going to try and phone Orange and try and see if I can have another one sent. :/
[Captivate General] jjimenezjj:
I've seen screenshots of Captivates homescreens from you peoples showing an H instead of just 3G. May I ask how you enabled this? Thanks in advance!

John J.
[Captivate General] Lucke:
HSDPA and 3G are the same thing (i'm pretty sure)

or more technically speaking, HSDPA is one half of 3G, with HSUPA being the other half (HSDPA=download, HSUPA=upload)...

can anybody correct me if i'm wrong?
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
You're correct. AT&T requires all its 3G phone to display 3G instead of any other icon. Often times, ppl find ways to replace it with the native 3G icon, H, which is widely used by rest of the world. But that makes no difference in actual connection speed.
[Captivate General] gephoria:
this is correct. when referring to both of them together they are commonly called just HSPA.
[Captivate General] Drachen:
"3G" is the common short abbreviation for UMTS. HSDPA is an update to UMTS that gives faster download speeds (a version is widely deployed on AT&T). HSUPA is a protocol upgrade that enables faster upload speeds (installing HSUPA equipment borked upload speed on AT&T recently). Combining the two is called HSPA. HSPA+ is an update to HSPA that's even faster. T-Mobile is planning on rolling this out. LTE (AT&T's 4G pathway) is totally unrelated to HSPA.
[Captivate General] jjimenezjj:
Thanks for your replies! I appreciate the schooling :-)
[Captivate General] AJerman:
This is the correct post.

Also, I'm certain AT&T doesn't disallow the H icon because I've seen screenshots of the Captivate with that icon.

However, at the same time, I have a -51 dBm signal and no HSUPA which I know I should be able to get here because my iPhone 4 got it. Something is going on, but I'm not sure what yet.

Edit: Nevermind, it sounds like I'm wrong. In the manual there's no mention of an H icon. There's also no mention of HSUPA. I think we just got screwed by AT&T. What a surprise.
